Syntax
Usage

lhs ^= rhs

Parameters

lhs
The variable to assign to.
rhs

Description

This operator exponentiates and assigns a value to a variable. It is functionally equivalent to:

lhs = lhs ^ rhs

This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types.

Note: This operator exists in C/C++ with a different meaning - there it performs a Bitwise Xor=.

Example

Dim n As Double
n = 6
n ^= 2
Print n
Sleep

Output:
36

Dialect Differences
